The National Social Security Council approved the cut in interest charged for taking out loans for INSS retirees and pensioners. Thus, the interest ceiling on conventional loans will fall from the current percentage of 2.14% am to 1.7%. Out of 15 votes, 12 were in favor of the change and 3 votes were against.

The interest ceiling on transactions carried out by credit card was also changed, from 3.06% to 2.6% per month. The measure was considered essential for reviving the market and taking out new loans, now with a more attractive rate compared to the 13.75% of the current SELIC.

However, to come into force, the new rates depend on the publication of a normative instruction in the Official Gazette of the Union. According to the Ministry of Social Security, the new instruction must be published on Wednesday, the 15th.

Decision was celebrated by the minister

The Minister of Social Security, Carlos Lupi (PDT) celebrated the decision on his Instagram account saying that: “lowering interest rates is the flag of our government“. Lupi ended by saying “As far as the Ministry of Social Security depends, we will always be willing to help“, showing support for the measure.

The reduction was proposed by the Government and was approved, after studies by the CNPS, which is made up of representatives of the Government, retirees, companies and workers.

It is important to highlight that only new contracts will benefit from the new defined interest limit. Old contracts remain with the old tracks.

The INSS payroll loan

The INSS payroll credit is aimed at retirees and pensioners and the amounts are deducted directly from the beneficiary's payroll. Therefore, credit is considered less risky, as the money is charged directly at the source

Currently, there are 8 million retirees and pensioners with an active payroll loan contract and around 1.8 million have already committed to the credit use limit of 45% of the beneficiaries' income, according to the Ministry of Social Security.

João Inocentini, president of Sindnapi (National Union of Retirees) of Força Sindical, said that the banks' proposal was to maintain a slightly high rate, rising to 2.04% per month. Inocentini believes that the sudden drop in rates could mean that smaller banks are unable to operate the credit modality.

“I think we have to carry out calculations so that [smaller] banks continue offering, because the impact is very big. Those who need it most will have difficulty. It is necessary to lower the rate, because these are the ones who go to the favela, the countryside, the hinterland to make the consignment.”

Now a working group is about to be formed to discuss the fees that institutions pay for the payroll loan operation.
